DISTRICT MESSENGERS 

There is a district messenger service in Paris 
somewhat similar to that in New York. The 
organization is called "Petits Messagers" and has 
oflSces at 21 Place du Marche St. Honore, Telephone 
Nos., Gutenberg 28-55 and Gutenberg 25-87. The 
boys deliver the messages on bicycles, and the 



L 



charges are 50 centimes for the first quarter of an 

hour and 25 centimes for every additional quarter 

of an hour. 

GRATUITIES 

In the more expensive hotels tips are about five 

francs each to the chambermaid, valet, porter and 

concierge. The tips for meals taken at the hotel 

are about 10% of the amount of the bill and are 

given to the head waiter. The porter who attends 

to the luggage expects one to two francs at arrival 

and departure. In the larger restaurants the 

average tip is about 10% of the amount of the bill 

and is paid to the waiter who served the meal. A 

tip of 25 centimes is sufficient at the cloakroom 

unless there is a party of several persons. In smaller 

establishments the tips should be reduced about 

one-third. At the theatres the attendants who 

take people to their seats expect 30 to 50 centimes. 

Railway porters receive about 50 centimes per 

package. Tipping is quite frequent in Paris, but 

small amounts, 30 or 50 centimes, are sufficient for 

small services.

THEATRES 
Theatres in Paris are quite expensive, the best 
seats in many of them being as high as 15 francs or 
more. The arrangement and naming of the seats 
differ a good deal, and the charges for admission 
vary to such an extent that no attempt has been 
made to give typical scale of prices.

TRAMWAYS 

There are a number of tramways traversing 
Paris and running out to the suburbs, all of which 
have large placards designating the localities to 
which and between which they run, but they are 
not apt to be much used by the tourist, so a descrip- 
tion of their routes is not included in this booklet. 
It may be noted, however, that among other places, 
h'nes go to Vincennes, St. Cloud, Versailles, and 
Auteuil, but it is not advised to make any of these 
excursions on holidays when the cars are very 
crowded.
